However, this one should warn:

int test_wrong(char **v, const char **p)
{ return __get_user(*v, p); }

Good luck (I think you'll need lots of it to get a working solution)! :)

This works with your test cases on x86-32.  Note that it's only compile + 
link tested at present.

That's the easy bit!

The problem you're going to run into is here:

#define __get_user_nocheck(x, ptr, size)                                \
({                                                                      \
        int __gu_err;                                                   \
        unsigned long __gu_val;                                         \
        __uaccess_begin();                                              \
        __get_user_size(__gu_val, (ptr), (size), __gu_err, -EFAULT);    \
        __uaccess_end();                                                \
        (x) = (__force __typeof__(*(ptr)))__gu_val;                     \

__gu_val will be 32-bit, even when you're wanting a 64-bit quantity.
That's where the fun and games start...

Ugh.  You're making me install a 32 bit distro.....!
